My wife and I have been doing this for 9 weeks. I've lost over 20 lbs. She closer to 10-15. For the last few weeks we've been in a "zone" of up a few, down a few. But I seem to continue to lose inches. Older clothing now fits, current clothing now falls off of me.

Wife recently had blood work done. She was way out of bounds a year ago in many areas. Those are now all within normal limits.

I have never had a diet or time in my life when I no longer think of food all the time. I used to live to eat my next meal. Now I don't even think of it most of the time. Cravings are gone. I can look the candy machine in the eye at work and sincerely not want anything in it.

I do miss some things like pasta or my old daily feeding of Post Grape Nuts, but I don't crave them.

That's the same for me. Wife and I did weight watchers, and while I lost about 15 lbs, the biggest thing was I was hungry ALL THE TIME.

Follwing Atkins plan, I have to "remember" to eat, because there are little or no cravings... (except for an ocassional Nacho Crave)

I recently restarted doing Atkins, after a hiatus, and have hit a plateau... It's kind of a struggle, but I'm determined to break through.
